TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - The impact of cyberbullying victimization on academic satisfaction among sexual minority college students: the indirect effect of flourishing JO - International journal of environmental research and public health A1 - Lee, Jeoung Min A1 - Park, Jinhee A1 - Lee, Heekyung A1 - Lee, Jaegoo A1 - Mallonee, Jason SP - EP - VL - 20 IS - 13 N2 - This study examines the association between cyberbullying victimization and academic satisfaction through flourishing (psychological well-being) among 188 LGBTQ college students utilizing the lens of general strain theory and positive psychology.

RESULTS indicate that flourishing as a mediator explains the association between cyberbullying victimization and academic satisfaction among LGBTQ college students. For these students, flourishing can serve as a protective factor for their academic satisfaction. This finding highlights the need for college counselors, faculty, and administrators to foster psychological well-being among cyberbullied LGBTQ college students. Practice implications will guide the development of a campus-wide cyberbullying intervention for these students.
